Ten Things
I had been looking forward to this week so much.... and then the universe saith "Ha ha ha," and the universe brought down its smite-y hand on me (lightly) and many of my friends (much, much harder).
So, time for a Ten Good Things list:
*watching the first (Netflixed) episode of Nero Wolfe. Timothy Hutton as Archie Goodwin, hello sailor!
*a wonderful yoga practice last night, exhausting and centering in all the right ways
*return of the warmth after three days of cold; this afternoon, open windows, and wind blowing through freshly washed curtains
*despite my unhappy, newly confirmed certainty that I cannot write, managing 500 words anyway
*pink-and-fuchsia-azalea lawn, petals everywhere on the ground, petals still nestling in green
*starting Peter Ackroyd's Thames: the Biography
*three hawks soaring over my back garden
*friends coming over for pizza and wine tonight
*the Dog of the House's cheerful rumbling talk
*breathing
May your list of Good Things today be much longer than ten!
